What is the meaning of this excerpt from "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker? In real life I am a large, big-boned woman with rough,

man-working hands. In the winter I wear flannel nightgowns to bed and overalls during the day. I can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man. My fat keeps me hot in zero weather. I can work outside all day, breaking ice to get water for washing; I can eat pork liver cooked over the open fire minutes after it comes steaming from the hog. One winter I knocked a bull calf straight in the brain between the eyes with a sledge hammer and had the meat hung up to chill before nightfall. But of course all this does not show on television. I am the way my daughter would want me to be: a hundred pounds lighter, my skin like an uncooked barley pancake. My hair glistens in the hot bright lights. Johnny Carson has much to do to keep up with my quick and witty tongue.

B) Dee is ashamed of how her mother looks and acts.

At the beginning of this excerpt we read a description of a woman who exhibits many characteristics/qualities of a man, of an outdoorsy type, and overweight woman as can be determined by how she describes herself as a woman with “man-working hands,” one who “can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man,” and whose fat “keeps [her] hot in zero weather.”  These are all attributes of which her daughter is ashamed because she says that on television she is not like this; she is the way her “daughter would want [her] to be” with less weight, lighter skin, and smooth/fair skin and hair.

How do you assemble a graduation announcement? I just got my graduation announcements, invitations, and thank you cards today in
In-s [12.5K]

The invitations are for everyone (mostly relatives and close friends) that will be able to join you in your graduation and will have reserved seats during the ceremony itself. On the other, the announcements are given to those who require more time to prepare for your graduation – they may be the ones living far away from you and/or those whom you see rarely because of their tight schedule.

The larger envelopes are used to contain your smaller envelopes. The larger ones are the ones used for mailing purposes and for formality. The smaller envelopes are the ones that hold your announcement and other important details for your graduation, they usually are more intimately labelled “For Dad”, “Nana”, etc. Your seal should be placed in the smaller envelope. Moreover, your clear sheets can be cut so they will fit your invitation. You can scribble on them or you may use them as decorative purposes. Just make sure that all the necessary details are put in the clear sheets if ever you plan to write on them. 

Lastly, you should send your “Thank You” notes to those who attended and congratulated you on your event. Priority should be given to those who attended and then to those who exerted effort for your special day, respectively.

Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez.
natulia [17]

Based on this passage, an inference can be made about the English teacher is  She did not pay attention to Julia’s real name. Thus, option "A" is correct.

<h3>How, explain your answer briefly?</h3>

The text shows how the author has had certain difficulties with the American culture to which she should adopt. For this reason, her parents formed strategies for her to become more comfortable with the new culture and to take pleasure in some activities, so they started calling the poets "my friend" so they would show support for the fact that she started writing poems and help her better adapt to the United States.

Thus, option "A" is correct.

Is it better for a society if everyone is the same?<br> Book: The Giver
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: no because everyone would act the same and nobody would be special. the world would be more sad because we each have something that makes up special and different from eachother, and if that was taken away we would all be the same and we wouldn’t be as intriguing to eachother.
